Loose wt. on Amitriptyline antidepresnt?

2023-07-21 17:05:34
Hello Dr, I am on Amitriptyline antidepressant for the past 2 years  and had put on weight. I want loose weight now, is it possible to loose weight on Amitriptyline if I follow Calorie deficit and intermittent fasting with excercise. I have read somewhere that no matter what you do, you cannot loose weight on antidepressants which is demotivating me. Your kind response is awaited . Thank you

Weight loss is possible on Amitriptyline with a proper approach. Calorie deficit, intermittent fasting, and exercise can be effective. While some antidepressants may affect weight, lifestyle changes can still lead to weight loss.
Next Steps
Consult with a Dietitian to develop a safe and personalized plan. Stay motivated and patient.

Firstly, that statement is false. It is possible to lose weight while taking antidepressants. Consult with your doctor to see if they can adjust your medication or offer alternative options that can aid you in your weight loss journey.
Next Steps
Take the appointment calorie deficit diet and IF must be followed under observation.
